Emotional Intelligence – The essential skillset for the age of AI

This report provides a global look at how companies view EI and recommends companies and organizations to combine technology with talent to develop relevant skills among their employees.

Emotional intelligence – what’s at the heart of artificial intelligence?

emotional_intelligence_report_cover_200x285.jpgIn transforming our world, AI and automation are blurring boundaries between tasks performed by machines and humans. As a result, certain traditional roles are disappearing and new ones forming. In the wake of this disruption, emotional intelligence (EI) offers some recourse for both employees and employers. Seventy-four percent of employers and 58% of non-supervisory employees are convinced that EI will be a key requisite for success in the years to come. EI is, after all, the one area AI finds it difficult to replicate. Moreover, it offers concrete benefits to both employers and employees. Why, then, do only 17% of organizations offer EI training for non-supervisory employees?

EI is critical for both employers and employees

We decided to find out. For the new report by the Capgemini Research Institute, Emotional intelligence – the essential skillset for the age of AIwe wanted to investigate the increasing importance and growing relevance of emotional intelligence in the age of automation and AI. To these ends, we surveyed 750 executives and 1,500 employees and conducted in-depth interviews with over 15 industry experts, academics, and start-up executives. Our research showed:

  • EI will be a must-have skill in the future, with demand likely to rise sixfold within the next five years
  • Organizations’ people processes are not adapted to the age of the machine
  • An emotionally intelligent workforce would benefit organizations and employees alike.

Embrace the power of EI

It is necessary for employers to start building an emotionally intelligent workforce today. To do so, they should customize existing learning programs to integrate EI and make them accessible to all, modify recruitment processes to include the evaluation of EI, apply an EI lens when promoting and rewarding talent, and use technology for building a high EI culture.
